Senator Milne says that her party has secured an agreement that whenever the government passes a threshold of a $50 billion increase in debt, it will have to make a statement to both houses of parliament, justifying the move.

This will then lead to a debt debate.

Better reporting of debt in the budget papers has also been agreed.

Milne says the Greens also secured an agreement that the government will report on how climate change policy impacts on the Australian economy - in the budget and inter-generational report.

So people can see what not going to a market mechanism costs the budget.

Did the Greens Leader get all that she wanted in the negotiations?

"Yes, pretty much," she says.

"I would have liked some more specific detail around climate but what I have got is specifics in relation to how its going to impact on the budget."
